Jackie Stewart is still good in the wet

A crowd has gathered in the persistent drizzle to have their books signed by the legendary F1 driver Jackie Stewart at the Waterstones event I’d mentioned in my previous post.

If you’re reading this in real-time there’s still a chance to get one signed if you get your skates on!

Jackie Stewart book signing on London Wall

My only claim to motorsport fame is winning an international corporate go-karting event but I’ll be keeping quiet about that for the remainder of this week because former Formula 1 Champion Jackie Stewart will be at Waterstones on London Wall on the 16th between 12.30 and 1.30 signing copies of his new autobiography Winning Is Not Enough. I’ve never met him but have seen examples of his driving and also, more recently, seen him teaching James May to drive very quickly indeed on an episode of Top Gear. The book’s had some rave reviews and this event coincides with the release of the paperback version so if you turn up you won’t have to break the bank to get a signed copy.

Or you can go along and ask him how he feels about pocketing the RBS cash from Fred the Shred…

Strange City sights

A colleague alerted me to the arrival of a strange pod at the corner of Moorfields and London Wall.

On speaking to the people milling around the booth it’s BBC2 filiming some voxpops for a two-part special on the issues surrounding women in the workplace and they’ve been filming around the country for their research. If you have an opinion on the subject, and who doesn’t, then get down there before 3.30pm today and speak to one of the nice production people lingering around the pod and you might be able to get inside the pod and get yourself on TV!
